Objective: To answer my EQ and prepare for the final 2 hour presentations. To teach the audience an important part of the film industry, without overwhelming them with information.
Lesson Plan:
For my 20 minute presentation, I will be teaching the class about the different types of scores found in a film, and how they can hurt or help a film.
*Before my presentation starts, I will move the desks into groups of six.
1. First I will introduce myself, my senior topic/EQ and what my presentation topic will be on.
2. I'll ask the class what they think is the most important part of a film is, calling on 1 or two students to share out, then I'll give them my answer.
3. I'll then start my Powerpoint presentation, and explain how a musical score is one of my EQ answers.
4. I then have a short powerpoint that will explain the three main types of scores, how they can help a film and how they can hurt them. For each kind, I have a short clip that showcases the pros and cons.
5. I will then ask them to turn to their group members and give them seven minutes to do the activity. In my activity, each group will pick a Top 40 hit and place it to a scene that I will give them. Each group will get three scenes.
6. After the time is up, I will then ask one group to share out with the classes one of their choices and why the chose that particular song. They should defend their choice using the technical language I used during my powerpoint. I hope to play the devil's advocate during this part.
7. I will then conclude my lesson with a quick summary of the the types of scores and their pros and cons.
Check for Understanding:
My check for understanding will occur during the last three minutes of my alloted activity time. Because I will call on the share out group randomly, all the groups will have to pay attention during my lesson. The share out group must also speak using technically language.
Resource/Materials:
1. My laptop and projector adaptor
2. Projector
3. Printed scenes
4. My powerpoint with all the links/videos
5. Internet Connection
6. Thank you candies for the share out group and the students I called on during the beginning of the lesson.
I'm sure students will be wonderful, but it seems like you are doing lots of talking to students while they are in groups. Groups encourage student dialogue. Of course, most good lessons are a mixture of this, so you have to make a choice : )
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd like to recommend that you find a way for more groups to share (it sounded like you only had one share).
Make sure the clips you use are truly short...twenty minutes is really short.
Otherwise, this looks good.
